My Third Empire

The gap in strength cannot be filled by courage and spirit after all. Although the German navy is still immature in some aspects, it has mastered the future development direction of the world's navies. This is something that no other navies have been able to do so far.

When the carrier-based aircraft mounted huge and slender torpedoes and flew towards the target they needed to attack, in fact, the British Royal Navy, which only had battleships and cruisers left, had already lost the war. These torpedo planes calmly launched attacks on their targets without interference from aircraft, dropping one deadly torpedo after another into the water and rushing towards the enemy ship.

No matter how proficient the technique of avoiding torpedoes is, no matter how tight the firepower network formed by anti-aircraft artillery is, the battleship can only be in a defensive position, lingering and waiting for its own doomsday. Under the interference of the German naval aviation, these warships could not chase and kill the German navy in a straight line, but the German navy could in turn open the distance between the two sides in a straight line.

Not long after, the battleship Elizabeth was hit on the side by a torpedo and was also forced to reduce its speed. The Royal Navy's fleet had completely lost its capital to attack. Several heavy cruisers were sunk, and the battleship Nelson has now turned into a sea of ​​flames. The entire fleet has almost been wiped out, and it doesn't look like it did a few hours ago.

This naval battle is also engraved in the history of war because of an unprecedented statistic: the British Navy killed a total of 4 admirals in this naval battle, including 3 commanders-in-chief of the Atlantic Fleet. This is also the naval battle in which the British Navy has lost the most commanders in a single battle in history.

The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Franklin turned to leave the theater, and the British Navy battleship HMS Nelson was sunk by German fighter jets about 4 nautical miles south of HMS Rogue. The corpses of sailors from both sides were floating all over the battlefield, as well as soldiers waiting for rescue. But the battle is not over yet, they still have to suffer in the sea water until they lose consciousness and die in the icy sea water.

At 4:33 p.m., the British battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth was sunk by torpedoes launched by German naval aviation. After 4 minutes, the Royal Navy Squadron began to disperse and turn, fleeing back to Iceland. Immediately afterwards, at 4:50, the battleship Ramirez was hit by a torpedo.

The fallen commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, Dudley Pound, wanted to continue the battle until the night, but until he was killed and the Royal Navy was almost wiped out, the sky still had a dazzling sun, and there was still a long way to go before night fell. A very long time.

After experiencing the setbacks of the battleship Belarus being sunk and the battleship Admiral Raeder being damaged, the German Navy calmly won the raid. From intelligence deciphering to attack across the board, from the start of taking off fighter jets to attack the enemy fleet, until the German Navy finally repelled the Allied fleet, the performance of the German fleet was quite satisfactory, and it won the victory it deserved.

Long live the Führer! General! The aviation unit has begun to return,

The next batch of attacks should be able to successfully sink the only remaining British battleship... The small enemy ships have dispersed and retreated, do you want to continue the pursuit? As the results of the naval battle gradually became clear, the atmosphere on the bridge of the German Navy's flagship aircraft carrier Reich relaxed a little. When an officer came to report the battle situation, there was already a smile on his face.

Lütjens returned a German salute casually with his hand, and then issued the order with a smile: Go further north, and you will once again enter the combat radius of the new land-based aircraft of the Allied forces... There is no reason Take a risk, we've already won this naval battle, haven't we?

Send a telegram to the head of state to say good news, and save the soldiers who fell into the water... After sinking the British battleship, we will return! Marshal Raeder was also in a good mood at this moment. He had just received the news that the battleship named after him Although damaged, he persisted in fighting and finally hit the enemy ship. He was so happy with the report that he even decided to celebrate with a bottle of champagne on the way home.

Before it was completely dark, the warships of the German Navy received a clear telegram. The British government in Iceland asked Germany to help rescue the Allied soldiers who fell into the water, and was willing to provide any support for the humanitarian spirit of the German army: they Claiming that all submarines will be transferred back, fighter patrols will be cancelled, and the German Navy must rescue all soldiers who fell into the water.

At this time, about 2,600 British soldiers were sunk and floating at sea waiting for rescue. They finally waited for a miracle to happen. The German Navy destroyer and cruiser rushed to the battlefield and rescued including: the villain , HMS Ramirez, HMS Queen Elizabeth, HMS Nelson and HMS Ark Royal aircraft carrier, 3 heavy cruisers and 4 cruisers, and 17 sunken British warships including soldiers who fell into the water.

Because of the help of the German navy, among the 2,600 British soldiers who fell into the water, 1,900 were rescued, and among the 1,900 Germans who fell into the water, more than 1,700 were rescued. This is only the later estimated number of people who fell into the water, and does not include the number of people who fell into the water. Ship sunk by soldiers.

And with the battleship sank together, including 17 captains. This also makes this naval battle a contest that best embodies the tradition of European naval warfare-according to unwritten rules, the captain of the battleship must sink with the battleship, and this Atlantic Icelandic naval battle is a good interpretation of this kind of heroism The spirit of fearless fighting to the end.

Among the rescued personnel in Germany, there were even some pilots. These pilots were shot down by the British army. One pilot miraculously survived, and he himself was shot down around 10 am. He floated in the sea with a piece of the wreckage of the plane, and waited a day for it to be picked up. By then he was dying, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

And this sea area has also become the cemetery of the battleships of the British and German navies. In a small sea area, a total of 5 battleships have sunk, including a Soviet class, a German-built villain class, and a A Nelson class, a Queen Elizabeth class, and an R class. on these battleships

It became a veritable cemetery of battleships, burying the everlasting splendor of the British Royal Navy and ending the possibility of the British Empire maintaining its world dominance. The emerging German navy has since stood on the stage of history and has become a truly powerful maritime force that people have to pay attention to.

However, although the naval battle was won and lost, and Britain's last dream of restoring the country was completely cut off, the various strategic materials shipped to Iceland arrived at their destination safely, and the Icelandic airport recovered its previous vitality. The daytime bombing plan against Norway was put into operation at the fastest speed.

A formation of hundreds of bombers and long-range twin-fuselage fighters took off from Greenland, flew to Iceland, stopped there for refueling, and immediately flew to Norway to destroy the iron ore production base of the Third Reich in Norway.

When these planes flew to Iceland, Roosevelt also began to receive various intensive care in his hospital bed, accompanied by more than 5 doctors and nurses 24 hours a day. The old man who has always insisted that the United States must fight to the end is using his amazing perseverance to race against the disease and strive for the hope of final victory for the United States.

A total of 310 bombers and 110 fighter jets will continue to take off non-stop after stopping in Iceland for refueling, bombing various factories and facilities in Norway. Although this plan worried all the senior leaders of the US Army Aviation Corps, it was finally implemented because of the president's insistence. How much these bombers can return to the base safely in the end, only God can know.

My head of state! The naval telegram just received! Marshal Raeder and General Lütjens won the naval battle and sank 4 British battleships and the Ark Royal aircraft carrier! A naval officer handed the telegram to After accepting Akado, he stood at attention and announced the good news to his head of state: We have won! Head of state! The Atlantic barrier is now impregnable, and our western front is completely safe!

That's right... We have finally eradicated the serious problem... If we hadn't deciphered the enemy's code, we don't know how long we would have to delay before we can completely solve the thorny problem of the British government-in-exile. Akado took off the Glasses, nodded and replied.

Recently, he had some eye problems because he stayed up late to approve various documents. In the end, the doctor diagnosed that the head of state's eyes were short-sighted and fitted him with a pair of 200-degree myopia glasses. It is not worn on weekdays, but worn when reading books and newspapers to prevent further aggravation of myopia.

As soon as the head of the navy left the office of the head of state, Gascoll, the head of the army's intelligence department, walked into Akado's office. He stood at attention, raised his hand and saluted a standard Great German salute, and then reported: My head of state! According to the plan, the secret weapon code-named 'Teutonic Knight' has arrived in the Sahara region of Africa, sending invitations You have arranged for the matter, let me ask you for instructions before proceeding.

Ah! Very good! I see! Send invitations to all countries that have diplomatic relations. If possible, find some American journalists. I also want to present a gift to President Roosevelt. After hearing the news, Akado , looked excited. This time, he was the initiator of the development of the German strategic weapon atomic bomb, and he was able to successfully complete the nuclear weapon program, which really made Akado very happy.

The head of the Third Reich stood up, smiled and said to Gascoll: Get ready for the special train to Italy, let's go to Africa too! Look at the excitement!
